[QUOTE="turkeyrun, post: 4143891, member: 27991"] Not really ironic, IMHO. The difference is, the money means nothing to the gambler and everything to the manager. There is show on TV about a realtor helping lottery winners find their dream home. We stumbled across and were interested because the "winner" wanted a lake home on Possum Kingdom. We wanted to see what was available and prices. She (54 yo, married, with 4 grown kids, her Mother would be moving with them) had cleared just under $3M. The first house he shows her was $2.6M. She is excited that she can buy this house. Her Mother pointed out the YEARLY taxes, insurance and upkeep. (This is why most end up, broke, wild spending, I believe) She ended up buying a 4br house, in a subdivision a mile from the lake for $320k and the 3br next door for $240k, for Mom. Much more practical and sustainable, IF the remainder is invested and not spent wildly. Chances of winning? Slim and none. Slimmer in that I rarely buy a ticket, but I do have a plan, if it happens. I'm a tightwad, the $$$$ matters. [/QUOTE]
